TOPIC 1: WHAT SHOULD THE BULLS DO WITH THE NO. 9 PICK IN THE NBA DRAFT?
Dinner and a movie, then see if the No. 6 pick is free.
Send the pick and players to Minnesota. Pick up Kevin Garnett. Slowly walk away.
You think Michael Jordan might take it, then come out of retirement for one more title run?
Trade it and look to get a scoring post player.
Draft the best guard. They can rely on outside shooting in the playoffs … wait a minute.
TOPIC 2: 5 On 5 REGULAR MIKE NORTH IS REPLACING DON IMUS IN NYC. GOT ANY TIPS FOR HIM?
New York City? Somebody get a rope.
If you’re going to insult a women’s basketball team, make it the San Antonio Spurs.
Don’t try to argue with a New Yorker about stuffed pizza vs. N.Y.-style pizza.
Don’t ever ask Imus for job advice.
The best time to take a stroll through Central Park is 1 a.m.
TOPIC 3: THE CUBS ARE BUILDING A STATUE OF ERNIE BANKS AT WRIGLEY. WHO ELSE DESERVES ONE?
Ryne Sandberg and Andre Dawson. Gods of my youth,
and to this day.
Corey Patterson. Fans would love a statue that fans them.
Mark Prior and Kerry Wood. It’d be the only way to get them to show up at Wrigley.
Why isn’t there a Steve Bartman statue at U.S. Cellular yet?
Last Saturday. Wrigley. Section 112. Row 11. Seat 4. Girl. Bikini top. Hot. Statue.
TOPIC 4: WHAT ROSTER MOVE WILL LOU PINIELLA MAKE, THEN TAKE BACK, NEXT?
He will attempt to have Alfonso Soriano bat first, second and third in the same game.
Trading Will Ohman for a half-order of ribs. No garlic bread … that would be a deal-breaker.
He sends himself down to the minors, then realizes what he’s done before it’s too late.
Moving Kerry Wood onto, and then off of, the disabled list.
Take Mark Prior and Kerry Wood off the DL, then put them right back on it. Sound familiar?
TOPIC 5: THE INDY 500 has 200 LAPS. WHAT CAN YOU DO 200 TIMES?
Watch “This is Spinal Tap.” Greatest. Movie. Ever.
Watch Dennis Green’s “The Bears are who we thought they were” news conference.
Put up with Leo playing “My Humps” on his computer. But 200 is my limit!
Flip right past the channel that is carrying the Indy 500.
Count how many times Jimmy uses “bourbon and hookers” as an answer.
